T During my sojourn in the Territory j
few years ago, I had occasion to emplo;
one of the scouts. Dave White by n-une
on several occasions, aud found him ai
invaluable companion. He could explaii
eveiy curling wreath of smoke on th

every Indian haunt, and woe to the red
skin op whom he drew a bead! ''Oh
Skiro," as he had named his rifle, wa
never known to miss its mark, ant
"Adelante," his horse, was as flee
as the wind when her master gave th
word "go."
One beautiful autumn morning, in th
fall of 1871. Dave and myself started t<
ride from the rancho at Apache Pass ti
the overland mail station, on the Sai
Cimon, a distance of twenty-five or thirt;
miles.
' Threading our way slowly down th
vast canon of the Pass through themoun
tains, where huge rocks, hundreds of fee
high, towered above us on either handtheir
jutting, moss-grown sides tilling th
gorge with a strange, somber gloom?
could not dispel from my mind a certaii
sense of danger. Ugly stories and ru
mors of Indian attacks were then com
mon. So strong an impression ha(
they made upon me that I finally sa d
"Dave. 1 believe we are going to hav<
. trouble before we get through to-dav.'
"Trouble!"' replied Dave. "Ha! ha
ha! as though we weren't always bavin
^<wviiK1n1 v?.r Tviinfr ?r?;irp<l lir> Vf> doc
tor?"
He laughed so loudly that the rock
above us caught the sound, and echoe<
a dozen startlingly distinct iia! ha! ha's
The effect was so uncanny that I cou!<
scarcely believe but that a band of sav
ages were mockingiy repeating our rasl
notes of levity. Again I asked Dave i
we might not do well to postpone thi
trip till the following week. The scou
reined in his horse, and squaring hiinscl
in his saddle, looked ine full in the face
"Now look ahere, doctor," he said
" ef yer afe red. we'll turn back; ef not
we'll reach the San Citnon, unless ol<
Skiro and Adelante fail me!"
I could only protest that I was no
afraid, but cautious, at which suggestioi
Dave merely vouchsafed a lira:" o
incredulity, and spurred his horse into ;
; . \ brisk canter.
After two or three miles of riding, \v<
left the rocky fastnesses of the pass, ant
thence proceeded for six or eight mile
further across the plain, where scarcely j
mound or a bush breaks the dead lcve
as far as the eye can see. My fear o
danger was gone or forgotten, while
was listening to one of Dave's stories o
adventure?when suddenly he turned hi
head, and looking over his shouder, ex
claimed, ''Thunder;" in a voice tha
sent every drup of blood surging bac k t(
illy heart!
Well I knew what such an exclama
tion from his lips meant; and the sigh
which met my eyes, as 1 glanced behin<
me was not an assurm ,' one. Scarcely ;
mile away, and coming at full speed
were eight or nine Apaches!
They had probably followed us throng]
the Pass.
I saw Dave look anxiously at my horse
It was a large, powerful animal, possessed
of eriduiance, but not not much speed.
? "Too big odds for this 'ere open plain,
so it's a ride for our lives," Dave said,
quietly.
The San Cimon was nearly ten miles
away! Could we reach it? 1 asked l)av<
the question as coolly as I could.
"We ve got to!" was his only reply
"Come on now. Settle yerself well it
yer saddle, doctor, lean a little for'ard
foller the motion of yer horse, aud giv<
him the spuns!"
Give him the spurs I did: for I fell
that our only safety depended upon the
speed I could get out of the animal.
Both animals seemed to feel how much
depended upon their efforts, and to be
quite as anxious to escape the fate ir
store for them, if captured, as did we,
their riders. Every hurried word wc
s|>oke and every nervous caress we gave
them seemed to inspire them with fresh
life. Yet in spite of it all we appeared
but to creep over the plain; and anotliei
hasty glance over my shoulder told mc
X \ but too plainly that the redskins were
gaining on us.
The wretches had uncommonly fine
horses?the choicest of all those stolen
and captured l>y tliem both in Arizona
and Northern Mexico. I saw, too. that
Dave was holding Adeiante in, while my
horse was making his utmost efforts.
. - - On, on we rode. Dave's face was a
study, as with compressed lips and
flashing eyes, he watched every motion
of my horse. as though
his life, not mine, depended upon
his exertions. Occasionally, he gave an
uneasy look behind, then forw ard toward
the long line of scrubby m< srjuit which
marked the course of the San C'imon
wVi/)rn flip ttfntinn wfl?i At lenirth bp
turned toward me. his face no longer
' ' anxious, but full of determination, and
said in a low, resolute voice?
We shan't inr.ke it, but we'll ride as
long as we can, then turn loose ou 'em
with our revolvers. Keep your hoss well
in hand; don|t let him stumble.''
. * Before I realized what tie was doing.
? Dave wheeled, and bringing Adelante
up wit'-, a force that almost threw the
C animal upon its haunches, faced the InBgfe
dians. 1 heard the crack of his rifle,
next minute he was beside me again.
Fetched one of'era! Give me your
rifle and load this,"' said Dave, hurriedly.
The exchange was soon made. I spoke
to my horse, at the same timesinkingthe
spurs deep into his foam-flecked sides;
for a few moments we seemed fairly to
fly over the hard ground?each moment
r bringing us nearer the station, which was
now not more than two miles away.
; Not a word was spoken; the ring of
our horses' hoofs on the gravelly plain
jk"-*' and their'quick, labored breathing were
the only sounds audible. But how thote
moments lagged! For already we could
hear the gallop of the redskins behind. J
They were not more than three hundred
yards in our rear. Suddenly their hide- '
ous yell broke on our ears?the lirst
sound we had heard from them.
"Howl, will ye?" Dave exclaimed, lie
turned, and again I heard the report of
the rifle; then once more Adelante was
beside me.

As he spoke, another yell rent the air,
and a flight of arrows whizzed past?
striking into the ground in advance of us.
"(iittin' a lectlc close for comfort!"
muttered Dave. ''Turn!"
We pulled up, wheeled, and, drawing
our revolvers, tired?once, twice!

from their powerful hows, one of which
struck through Dave's left- arm.
"JJit the bone!" he ejaculated, with a
groan of piin. The next moment another
shaft buried itself deep in my horse's
breast. The poor beast, which had done
his best for me. leaped convulsively with
a sharp cry, and fell in the road. My
light foot was fast under him for an
instant before I could extricate myself.
As I struggled, still another arrow struck
i into the dying horse's neck.
Dave was tinn<r; and just as I got free,
his own horse, hit by an arrow, backed
nearly over me. But I regained my feet,
and taking aim, shot at an Apache who,
. with drawn bow, was galloping forward,
to shoot at Dave. The rascal fell back?

round to shoot at the others. I saw to

about and were riding away at full

, The Best Filter.
> In an article in the Popular Science
r Monthly entitled " Clean Drinking
- Water," Edwin J. Howe, M. 1).. says:
The Japanese use a porous sandstone hol?'
lowed in the shape of an egg, through
1 which the water percolates into a recep;
taclc underneath; the Egyptians re?ort
k' to a similar device; the Spaniards use a
. porous earthen pot. But these and other
2 similar contrivances can not be thoroughly
ly cleansed; after the most thorough rinsing,
some impurities will remain in the
& pores of the 9tone. Spongy iron and
)' carferal are open to the same objection;
, they will answer well for a short time,
i but soon become contaminated by pollun
tion retained in their pores. Sponge,
e cloth, and felt, unless cleaned every day
1 or two with hot water, will do more
v harm than good, and the average servant
girl will not clean them or any other fil1
ter unless under the eye of her mistress.
s The various forms of filters that are !
1 screwed to the faucet have only to be I
t hastily examined to be discarded, as there
e is not sufficient filtering material in them
^ i
to be of much utility, ana tney very soon i
e become foul and offensive. .Buck says,
a ''There is no material known which can j
0 be introduced into the small space of a i
n tap-filter and accomplish any real puritiy
cation of the water which passes through
at the ordinary rate of How."
e The various complicated closed filters,
- filled with any material which cannot be
t removed for cleansing, condemn tliem
selves. No amount of pumpimr water
e through them at different angles, which
1 is at all likely to be used, can cleanse
3 them of the impurities that adhere to the
- mass and in the pores of the filtering ma
terial used. Parkes, in his "Manuel of
1 Practical Hygiene," says: "Filters, where
: the material is cemented up and cannot
u be removed, ought to be abandoned al
together.''
! The various metal filters in which the
' water comes in contact with metallic sur
faces, either iron, lead, tinned iron, or
zinc, are objectionable from their appres
ciable influence upon the water retained
1 in them for any considerable time. Pure
! block-tin is the least objectionable of
1 any of the metals.
The aim of most filters is to remove
i impurities from the water speedily?as
f rapidly as it escapes from the faucet,
s Experiment shows that effective filtration
t cannot be accomplished in this way, as
f the water does not remain long enough
. in contact with the filtering material used
; to become purified of much that might
, be removed by slow filtration or pereola1
tion through the same appliance. Of all
the filtering materials mentioned, it seems
t I tn that sand and charcoal arc the two
i that accomplish the best results, and of!
f these vegetable charcoal is the best.

A Congressman's War Story.
Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky.
1 told this story to a knot of listeners in
s Washington:
x "Did I ever toll you a funnv thing
' that happened to me during the war.
f Well, it was in this way: Four days be1
fore I went to the front with my regif
ment wc had a little girl baby. She is
s now grown, and you always sec her with
me at any social gathering. Well, in
t our army, the furloughs came very rare
J ly. When we got into line there was no
great chance for a man to get home. It
- was about three years afterward that a
1 f.w of us were one night going down j
' the Mississippi on a river steamer. 1
1 had been sick, and was returning to my
. command, but pretty well broken up,
even then. As for money, we did not
1 have any. and the night was hot, as 1
laid down on the deck, my throat almost
parched with thirst. Pretty soon a
I little girl came along with a big glass of
lemonade. I tell you it looked good to
? me. She saw me eyeing it, stopped a
i minute, looked doubtfully at ine and
finally came up to my side. 'You look as
i if you wanted something to drink.'she
' said, and olTered me the glass. It was
not quite tlie square tiling to do. but I
took it and handed it back to her empty.
1 It was like nectar to me. Tlu'n I thanked
. the little creature and sent her away.
- Soon after, just like every child, she
came back leading her mother to see
t the poor soldier, liv Jupiter! it was my
' wife, and the girl was the baby whom I
had last seen as a baby just born. You
1 can imagine the reunion. They were
' with my brother's family and happened
i to be going down the river. That was
the only time during the four years'
lighting that I saw my wife and baby,

The Origin of Dixie.
1 On a Saturday night in 1H59, wheh
D;m Emmett was a member ot jirvant s
minstrels, New York, Dan Bryant came
to him and said: "Dan, can't you jet up
a 'walk around.'' I want something new
and lively for Monday night." Dan went
to work, and by Sunday afternoon he had
the words commencing, "I wish I was in
Dixie." This expression was not Southern.
but appeared among the cireus
people of the North. In early fall, when
nipping fiosts would overtake the tented
wanderers, the boys would think of the
warmth of the South, and the common
expression would be: "Well, I wish I
was in Dixie." Th's gave the catch-line,
and the rest of the song was original.
On Monday morning it was rehearsed
and highly commended, and at nitrht a

half of them went h- me singing Dixie.
The song became the rage, and W. W. New- 1
comb's, Buckley's minstrels and others .
gave Dan $5 each for the privilege of 1
using it. Mr. Werlean wrote to Emmett 1
to secure the copyright; but, without 1
waiting for a reply, published it with '
words by a Mr. Peters. Pond, of New
York, secured it from Emmett for SGOO; <
but Werlean sold thousands of copies 1
without giving him a nickel. Not only <
was Emmett robbed of the profits of his (
song, but the authorship of it was div- 1
puted. Will S. Hayes claimed it as his '
own. Pond brought the matter before a <

the authorship; but Dan reaped no bene- 8

nv-PTH or THE CLASSES SEEN 017
BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
Prowler* anil Hen in I'unuit o? Exercise?The
Club .Hen?Tlie Gambler
in Hi* Walks.
There are thousands of men in New
Vork to whom a walk 011 Broadway in
the afternoon is as much a matter of
habit as their three meals a day. In
some instances they look as though their
daily walk was considerably more regular
and satisfactory than their meals. Very
many of them arc what are known as
prowlers. They walk simply to be
amused by the crowd and the shop
windows, and they are easily distin- 1
finished from the business men and those j
who walk for exercise.
Upper Broadway, between the hours of
2 and (i in the afternoon, is a promenade
which hag a distinctive throng of its
own. Even a casual glance at the crowd
is enough to convince the observer that
the statement that there is 110 leisure
class in America is erroneous. The
leisure class, as far as can be seen, as it
narades un and down Broadway, consists
of club men, invalids, millionaires, duties,,
buncosteerers, younger sons,college boys,
medical students.tind numerous specimens
of the genius known as "masher." Fashionably
dressed gamblers add to the
crowd. These men all walk with a
leisurely stride, look intently -sit every
face they pass, and move easily
in and out among the women. They
move at about the same rate of speed as
the ladies who wander about from store
to store shopping, and though they may
have walked up and down the long
stretch of Broadway for years and years
?as many of them, indeed, have?they
seldom meet an acquaintance. They
pass each other with indifferent stares.
They walk from Fourteenth street up to
the Fifth Avenue hotel on the west side
of the way, drift up Fifth avenue as far
as Thirty-fourth street, then retrace their
steps. This they do four or five times.
Very often groups of a hundred or more
cluster about the entrances of the Fifth
Avenue and Brunswick hotels, where

and stare at the <rirl??. These men (lo
not dress elegantly or expensively. The
distinction of being described as fashionable
men is due entirely to extreme
neatness of attire unci a certain wellbrushed.
clean-shaven, carefully harbored
appearance, coupled with a careful carriage
and more or less conventional
poses. No one would mistake one of the
habitual prowlers on Broadway for a
business man. The trim, athletic clerks
who come striding uptown at o o'clock
differ very much from the prowlers. They
push their way through the crowds of
languid men and women who are on
Broadway, chat brightly, roar loudly at
poor joues, and dive frequently into
doorways that are meagrely protected
by green baize doors. Many
bankers ami merchants drive up
town in their cabs as far as Fourteenth
street, where they alight and walk
briskly to their homes in search of an
appetizer. They usually get it. These
men are invariably prosperous looking
and robust. They, too, step on the
women's trains and jostle against the
prowlers as they stamp along. The business
men and the clerks doll' their hats
quite often, and are usually acquainted
with very many more people than the
habitues of Broadway.
Undoubtedly the girls and women who
;,i i iir. invtiiirvil jirf, nf shoni)in<?
IIIVUU^^ ... ...V ... , .
are the great attraction of Broadway.
Few people stop to look in at shop windows,
and nothing claims the attention
of the crowd after 4 o'clock. The women
are magnificently dressed, and the men
appreciate their gorgeousness. After
school hours there are very many girls
who take a run up and down Fifth
avenue, but they seldom venture on
Broadway. The school girls usually dis
appear before 5 o'clock, and their places
are taken by the shop girls, who are
usually more picturcsijue and pleasant t<>
look upon.
| A familiar figure on Broadway is the
middle-aged club man. He is the fortunate
bachelor who has an income which
just enables him to keep up his club dues,
own a horse and a bull pup, and live in
a fashionable bachelors' apartment house,
leaving a small percentage over ior cants.
He has a red, well-fed, high-colored, and
wine-tinted face, with a small mustache,
and a pair of sleepy eyes. He is dressed
with the fastidiousness of a debutante of
the first ball, wears several large rings
on his hands, has very small leather
boots, and walks with the air of one who
owns at least a mile and a half of the
town. After having risen at 11 o'clock,
breakfasted grumbliugly at his club,
and smoked his way through the morning
papers, he surveys himself placidly
in the mirror, and sallies forth for a constitutional
on Broadway. He walks up
and down until it is time to drive, when
he disappears again. Asa rule the New
York club man of middle age is the most
unobtrusive and ornamental of prowlers.
He shirks the labor of staring intently at
the women, and looks at everybody with
a stupid and over-fed indifference. The
younger club men who have nothing to
do except amuse themselves are a bit
more obstreperous than the middle-aged
ones. In nine cases out of ten they are
pronounced Anclomaniacs. They vote
Broadway common and stick to the ave
tine, where they wander listlessly ironi
the Brunswick cafe to the liar of the
Windsor hotel. Their faces arc in some
instances familiar to thousands of New
Yorkers, who have no idea who they arc.
I.ate in the afternoon they nviy be seen
in crush hats and evening dress driving to
dinner in their cabs or hurrying along the
avenne. At such moments they view the
crowd with such impatience and disdain
as is natural to men who have the prospect
of a good dinner staring them in
the face.
The gamblers who walk Broadway are.
as a rule, rather a hadsonie lot of men.
They are sipiare-shouldercd and sturdy
and well dressed. The pride of every
gambler's heart seems to be a big wellcurled
mustache. Faces that are familiar
in front of the pool boards at the races
and at the walking matches and boxing
contests are to be seen every day with
shining beaver hats strolling up and
down lJroadwnv. They smoke constantly,
and greet each other with almost imperceptible
nods, while they stare at the
magnificently dr. ssed women, and spec
ulatc ;is to what they will do with their
money when they striken heavy winner."
It has often been noticed that a erood
many New York detectives look like
ramblers. They have the same sturdy
figures and the same carefully wrought
mustaches as the gamblers.
There are many middle-aged men,
with gray beards and white hair, who
are as enthusiastic patrollers of Broadway
as the youngest of the prowlers.
Some of them are ex-army officers, others
retired business men, and many of them
men who juivu uuuu tiuhtirui>siiii auu
who arc out of employment, but who
seek amusement with the crowd. Every
day there are fresh recruits from the
country who stroll up and down in openmouthed
admiration, and follow with
intense interest the noted figures who
occasionally pass them. All the men and
women who are more or less famous in
New York pass up and down Broadway
at some time or other. In fact, it is said
that all the famous people of the earth
must in the course of time stroll by the
Fifth Avenue hotel. This applies as truly
to Lord Coleridge, the; lord chancellor of
England, as to Sorakichi. the champion
wrestler of Japan. Of the hundreds of
the well-known faces of famous actors,
popular politicians, well-known bankers,
and notorious people of various sorts
nothing need be said. They have been
written about so many times that they
now take the parade up and down Broadway
as much for an advertisement as

Why the Wart is There.
Those who have studied the map of
Massachusetts, says the Boston (i folic,
cannot but have noticed the peculiar appearance
of a portion of tlie Connecticut
boundary line just southeast of
Springfield. The point referred to is a
small square block at the town of Southwick.
extending from this State into that
of Connecticut. Although the peculiar
jog on the map has often been noticed
ind commented upon, it is not generally
known that this very point was for years j
the foundation for a most bitter contro- !
fersy between the two States. From j
1774 to 1804 the question of division j
:ame several times before special comnittees
and commissioners from Massa:husetts.
and town meetings were fre- ;
piently hold to settle the matter. In j
1774 Connecticut attached a portion of j
and to Southwick, south of the original j
:olony line. Ten years afterward, in j
1784, a committee from Connecticut was '
ippointed for the purpose of establish- !
ng the bounds at this point, but so te- .
iaci" us was each colony of every inch of
erritory that it took more than a score
if years to settle this very trifling matter.

Something Cheerinj to Knotv.
Olaf Hygh, the Norwegian Herodotus, j
tells us that when the old I fares,'irks felt ?
the approach of their end they robbed
death of its sting by drifting out to sea f(
in a scuttled or burning boat, and thus (.
expired, "scriaining the wild battle c
songs of their tribe." The Koman gladi- v
ators shouted and laughed aloud while c
their wounds were being dressed. A j,
scalded child sobs and gasps for a tlicra- 0
peuiical purpose; instinct teaches it the f(
readiest way to benumb the feeling of |(
pain. w
The physiological rationale of all this sj
is that rapid breathing is an ana-sthetic. ,,
In a paper read before the Philadelphia
Medical society. May 12, 1880, Dr. W. v
A. lion will ascribes that effect to t'ne in- "
lluence of the surplus oxygen which is
' thus forced upon the lun<;s, just as by ^
1 the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas,
which is composed of the same element V
ns common air, but with a larger proportion
of oxygen, and mentions a large variety
of cases in his own practice where c
rapid breathing produced all the essential
effects of chemical pain-obtunder,
without appreciably diminishing the
consciousness of the patient. Persons
who object to the use of chloroform (perhaps
from an instinctive dread that in r
their case ether slumber might prove a
sleep that knows 110 waking) can benumb
their nerves during the progress
of a surgical operation by gasping as s
rapidly as possible.
"One of the most remarkable proofs
of its efficacy," says I)r. lion will, "was \
the case of a boy of eleven years of age,
for whom I had to extract the upper and
lower lirst permanent molars 011 both r
sides. He breathed rapidly for nearly a sc
minute*, wnen i removed lnanoui iweiuy ;i
seconds all four of tlie teeth. He de- ti
clared there waa no pain, and we needed in
no such assertion, for there was not the
slightest indication that he was undergoing
a severe operation."?I'ojmhn ?SWcuce

as the answer a well-known physician W(
ade to a question propounded by a 9e
rovidence Teisgrum reporter. "There
e many kinds of peculiar crazes, and al:
mie of the methods people take to keep w
om disease, or rather try, arc simply
)surd. Take, for instance, the man ]0
ho goes the year round with a pair of th
a-bcans tied about his neck as a prcintive
to disease of a contagious nature. ar
ome wear beans, some corn, some horse- j0
K'stnuts, and others a plain piece of
bbon. all of which are mere cases of
lperstition. There arc many who. when -?
ifTering from a cold, will wrap a wet n(
>ck, which they have worn during the
ay. about their necks, and retire for the m
iglit. Others wear a dry sock, and still la
thcrs a piece of cloth saturated with to
imp oil. In the country it is a standard tl
jmedy to wear a piece of salt pork
bout one's neck when suffering from a 8]
ire throat. This, by the way, is a good tc
imedv. Some inhale the smoke from tl
timing cherry wool, and others the 01
moke from oak chips in an open fire- m
lace, as a cure for a cold in the head
nd# nostrils. There are a great many
ersons who believe that when one gets a
horough drenching with rain, or receives
ret feet, that they should not hasten to ^
heir homes and put on dry clothes, but jj
istead. should let the wet clothing dry
pon them, as by so doing tnev ueiievc
icy will never take cold. ?|
"The 'hot water cure.' which amounrs s
o a craze in points in the East, where no

lie addition of a cup of hot water to ^

litest of a long list of odd cures. It is v
relieved by a great many that to take a p
Irink of this kind before each meal, or si

11 it was simply to be buried in it for j1
in hour or two, and then to spend several
hours in a tub of water to pet rid | c

Odd Articles of Food in Mexico.
In one of his letters describing life in
lexico W. A. Croffut says: Most of these
uburban canals arc covered with what
uoks like a green scum, but is really like
nost of the green "scum" on northern
oiids, a fine vegetable, a sort of cress,
k'hich frequents places of special fertility.
Vhen Cortex besieged the city, the in
labitants piecca out rneir runous wtm
tall skimmed from the pools, and thereby
postponed tlicir death by starvation,
t was a lesson they never forgot, and the
eople who dwell in these bamboo huts
nake a sort of salad of this frail blossom
f decay.
But the Mexicans eat even odder things
han this. There are no fish in these
;rcat salt lakes near the city, but a renarkable
spotted reptile lives in them
vith a lish-like body, four legs like a
izard, and webbed feet. It is a bntrachiiii
of the salamander type, about ten
nches long, and its flesh is white and
oothsome. This hideous protean is cle
oured in great quantities by the peons,
s were the toads, tadpoles, lizards and
mlrush piths by their ancestors. I supiose
there is some truth in what an old
ellow who was fond of horse-steaks told
ac in Paris last summer. "Why we eat
me thing 'stead of another is just a mater
of fashion, like the cut of a coat,
iverything's good to eat."
Another curious product of the Mexian
lakes is a marsh fly called axayacatl,
vhich deposits its eggs in myriads on
lags and rushes, from which they are
fathered by the bushel and made into
akes that are sold in the market and
aten with a relish! I had read the decription
of this food by the monk
?homaa Caere, who wrought here 2.10
ears ago: "The Indians gathered much
T this and kept it in Heaps, and made
hereof Cakhs, like unto Brickbats, and

hey hold opinion that this Scum or fatiess
of the water is the cause that such

'hese eggs, looking like fine fish roe. are

f Shirley, on the Lower James Itiver,
ras for many years an ollicer of the navy
f the United States, but, resigning, he
jund his estate in a dilapidated conition.
From his training in the navy
e had become a rigid disciplinarian,
iioroughlv systematic and practical. He
rst directed his overseer to pull down
ic old fences and pile together all the
rooked and dried rails and tire them.
.11 of the old rickety cabins and other
uthouses were next burned. Then all
f the old wagons, carls, plows, hoes,
xes, rakes, baskets, spinning-wheels and
>oms were piled togcth r and burned,
lie next order was to gather up every
Id horse and mule that could not work,
iid all non-producing mares, cows, sheep
net nogs, una mo oiu uogs mai cumu
ot hunt, nnd piuce them in a lot. "When
lis was clone thu .midials were all killed,
luceil in one vast heap an:l burned. On
is .several plantations were some seventy^'e
or a hundred old negroes, male and
imnle, that had not performed any
l>or for many years. Sonic were
ipplcs, and some almost past
alking from old age. To support so
rge a number of non-prcducers did not
>mport with .Mr. Carter's idea of disciline
and economy, so he told the over
er to gather together in a certain lot
1 of these old negroes; but when the
ersecr went out to execute th?; order
ie old slaves, knowing how the old
nccs. cabins, farming implements and
ie old stock, had been served, had gone
the break of day to the lields, and
ere all ready for work. The ex-naval
licer proved himself a model and suessful
planter. Hill Carter was of an
ritablc nature, and by virtue of his edution.
dictatorial. On one occasion,
Iiilc ridin over one of his plantations,
e overseer had displeased him, and he
idertook to horsewhip him. The overly
r being the stoutest of the two, took
e whip from him and lashed him
merely, lb' then challenged the overly
r to motal combat, but the overseer
dined to fight, for the reason, he said,
;it if he was maimed or killed it would
ivc his wife and children without suprt.
.Mr. Carter sai l that he would
;tlc on his wife and children a comtency
if he would fight him. The
urseer accepted the proposition, and?
y property settlement made?the parties
t, the terms of the duel agreed on, the
tols loaded and they were just taking
utions when the sheriff of the county I
ived on the field and arrested the par- i

A Cool Beggar.
Some beggers have a vulnerable point
left somewhere in them, or a ceriain
limit of impudcnce that stops them a
little short of actual insult; but with the
feVaheen Arabs begging is a constitutional
passion or hereditary trait,rendering tnem
as innocent of all sense of the proprieties
of time and place and mutual relation as
their skins arc of soap and water. Do
them a kindness, and they expect you to
pay them for giving vou the opportunity,
like Dickens' Herold Shinpole, the
couipliicent "dead beat," who prided
himself on being a cause of benevolence I
to other men. A veil known traveler in
Egypt gives several illustrations 0/ this
travesty of gratitude, of which the following
is one:
It is useless to resist the impression
that this demand l'orbticksheesh (money)
is instinctive in the Arab character. It
is the first word the children utter. It is
the hist on the lips of the dying man, if
the vision of a foreigner crosses his failj
ing sight. Doctor Abbot vouches for
the fact that he attended an Arab in a
long and severe sicknes, and cured him.
When the man was well he called on
the doctor, as the worthy physician
supposed for the purpose of expressing
his gratitude for visits that
had been made twice a day for a month.
That he had nothing but gratitude to
give, the doctor well knew.
"I am well," said the man.
" Yes?1 am glad to se? it?yon are
well."
"I am well/' repeated the Arab.
"Yes, so I see; thank God for it,"
said the doctor.
"Yes?but?isn't there anything more?
Yon see I am well."
"Certainly, I see you are well; and
you have had a hard time of it. Go to
wotk now, and keep well."
" But isn't there anything more?"
"More, more?what more?"
" Bucksheesh?"
" For what?"
"For the experience you've had in
curing me."
"I had cured him for nothing, and
paid lor his medicines, and the dog came
to me for bucksheesh," said the doctor.
Nor was this a solitary instance in his
practice.
